What is Seasonal Swing Trader?

This is Silas Peters company. He offers a variety of services within it. My favorite product he offers is called Divergence Dominator Pro.

Divergence Dominator Pro

This has been a very useful product for me. I really had no idea about what bullish and bearish divergence was until I started using this product.

Here is what is included in the Divergence Dominator Pro package.

TPI Indicator (thinkorswim, tradestation, ninjatrader, tradingview, metatrader 4)
DD Pro Scanner (tradestation, ninjatrader8

Turning Point Identifier (TPI) Indicator

I use ThinkorSwim so I installed the Turning Point Indicator on my ThinkorSwim charts. On the face of it, the indicator is very simple. It is just 4 horizontal lines that are displaced vertically from each other. This is shown below.

You can see the key lines drawn in by the TPI program on my ThinkorSwim chart. They are quite self-explanatory. You enter when price is at the blue entry price level and stop out when price breaks down to the stop loss.

The hope is that the price breaks through profit target 1 and then hits profit target 2.

You can see we only hit profit target 1 in the trade above. These signals are reversed for short alerts.

But what are these mysterious lines based on ?

Trading Divergence

What are trading divergences? Divergence suggests either trend continuation or trend reversal, and is largely used as a leading indicator because it precedes price action.

It forms on your chart when price makes a higher high, but the indicator you are using makes a lower high.

A divergence happens because a technical indicator does not agree with the current market price (for example, when the price makes a higher high, but the indicator you are using makes a lower high). This means that a change in direction is likely.

So, traders can potentially use the divergence pattern to enter and exit trades.

Put simply, price must have either formed one of the following in order for a divergence to exist:

• Higher high than the previous high
• Lower low than the previous low
• Double top
• Double bottom

Here is an example of bullish divergence.

The TPI indicator points these divergences out to you with the colored lines that I showed on my TOS.

These lines also include key price zones to indicate take profit levels and stop loss. These are adjustable to suit your own risk/reward.

The TPI is pretty reliable. It seems to work well on the longer time frame periods for swing trading. For example, I looked at the SPY for 1 year on the daily chart and all 6 signals were winners.

The indicator seems reliable. The video course is quite helpful. The indicator can be used with Thinkorswim, Tradestation, Ninjatrader, Tradingview and Metatrader 4.
